Berry Spoons can be found in many sizes. They would usually be used for serving soft fruits and the bowls are often highly decorated with embossed fruits, hence the name Berry Spoon. The bowls are usually gilded or partly gilded to protect the silver from the fruit acids. They are very collectible usually having beautifully engraved stems. The Berry Spoon came into use around 1840 but the Victorians often took Georgian Spoons and changed them to due to the fashions of the time.
